Did You Know?
| Trivia | The "hacking"-sequences - the scenes where you see the "inside" of a computer - are mostly motion-controlled models, because director Iain Softley thought that actual computer graphics would look too artificial. See more » |
| Goofs | The Pan Am building seen in the New York City flyover had the Pan Am sign removed in 1992, approximately one year after Pan Am ceased operation, and three years before the film's setting. See more » |
